The course offerings and requirements of the university are continually under examination and revision. This catalog is not a contract. Individual Columbia International University colleges reserve the right to change curricula and requirements at any time. This catalog reflects the academic programs and policies for students entering during the 2014-2015 academic year. While requirements may be changed, this document serves as the institution’s statement of intent and is monitored by accrediting and governmental agencies for compliance and integrity. 2 COLUMBIA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY INTRODUCTION │ Dear Prospective Student, In 1987, I enrolled as a student at Columbia International University because I shared the university’s heart for reaching the nations with the message of Jesus Christ. During my student years, I came to know and appreciate CIU’s five core values: the Authority of Scripture, World Evangelization, Prayer and Faith, Victorious Christian Living, and Evangelical Unity. These core values shape and define CIU because they represent our purpose and passion. Today, as in 1987, CIU continues its mission of training professional ministers and ministering professionals to impact the world with the message of Christ. Our programs of study are designed to equip you in the academic area or profession of your choice and to provide you with a strong foundation in God’s Word and His truth. I believe that an education at CIU will transform you intellectually, professionally, and spiritually as you gain new friends, learn, and experience God in a new way. I invite you to come and spend time on our campus. Visit with our students, talk to our faculty, see our passion, and experience what it’s like to really know Him and make Him known. This catalog contains information about living and studying at CIU, but it may not tell you everything you want to know. If we can help you personally, please call (800) 777-2227 or email the Admissions office at [email protected] to discuss your specific needs or questions with one of our counselors. Warmly in Christ, William H. Jones, D.Min.

Columbia International University (CIU) offers undergraduate, graduate, postgraduate, and advanced programs. The corporation also includes Ben Lippen School, a Pre-K through 12th grade Christian school that prepares young people to fulfill the Great Commission. CIU also reaches out with two Christian radio stations, WMHK in Columbia, South Carolina, and New Life 91.9 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Located on 400 scenic acres next to the Broad River, just minutes from the hub of South Carolina’s capital city of Columbia, the beautiful campus is home to a diverse group of Christians. The student body represents many denominations, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, and reflects the socioeconomic diversity of the world — united by their desire to know Christ and to make Him known. History CIU was born out of a prayer group of six women who sought the Lord for a means to evangelize and disciple mill workers in Columbia. The results went beyond their expectations. The CIU ministry was founded in 1923 as Columbia Bible School, occupying the former Colonia Hotel in downtown Columbia in 1927. The school became Columbia Bible College in 1930, one of the nation’s first four-year Bible colleges. Graduate courses were first offered in 1936, marking the beginning of what is now CIU’s Seminary & School of Ministry. The school moved to its present 400-acre campus in suburban Columbia in 1960 and changed its corporate name to Columbia International University in 1994. We changed our corporate name in 1994 to Columbia International University and, in 1999, a third higher educational division, the Graduate School, was formed to offer professional training in education and counseling. In the 2009-2010 academic year, programs were moved to their respective colleges: College of Arts and Sciences, College of Counseling, College of Education, College of Intercultural Studies, and the Seminary and School of Ministry. Robert C. McQuilkin was CIU’s first president, holding the office until his death in 1952. He was succeeded by G. Allen Fleece, who led the university until 1966. Robertson McQuilkin, son of the first president, served from 1968 through 1990. Then Johnny V. Miller, current CIU faculty member and former pastor, served as president from 1991 through 1999. George Murray was appointed president in 1999 and then as chancellor in 2007. Dr. Bill Jones currently serves as president and has been serving since 2007. As our motto states, CIU was founded for the purpose of preparing students “To know Him and to make Him known.” Our purpose remains the same today. All programs emphasize spiritual development, biblical training, and ministry skills development. From the early years until the present, CIU has focused on five core values: the Authority of Scripture, World Evangelization, Victorious Christian Living, Prayer and Faith, and Evangelical Unity. The school’s first class boasted seven students. Currently CIU enrollment includes over 1,200 students, with several hundred students involved in non-traditional and distance education programs. Approximately 17,000 students have received training from CIU and hundreds of our alumni serve throughout the world. Purpose Columbia International University is a multi-denominational Christian institution of higher education dedicated to preparing world Christians to serve God with excellence. Its educational units offer degree programs ranging from associate level to doctoral level. All programs emphasize spiritual formation, mastery of biblical content and interpretation skills, cultivation of a biblical worldview, ministry skills development, and vocational competency. CIU serves students from over 40 states and 30 foreign countries. More than 52 church denominations and independent fellowships are represented in the faculty and student body and about 30 percent of CIU graduates working in cross-cultural contexts. Mission Columbia International University educates people from a biblical worldview to impact the nations with the message of Christ. We pursue this mission as an academic community modeling, mentoring, and motivating students to cultivate spiritual vitality and character formation, acquire knowledge in biblical content, gain interpretation skills, to develop competence as critical thinkers and communicators, formulate a comprehensive biblical worldview for themselves, and explore and initiate experiences that are ministry-focused. 5│ Columbia International University Introduction Both the curriculum and the community life at CIU are intentionally designed to stimulate a dynamic context in which each student is assisted and encouraged to pursue the following institutional goals: • Know Christ by learning submission to His lordship and dependence on the Holy Spirit, thus making progress in conforming to His image • Know the Word by gaining mastery of its content and understanding of its meaning, by assimilating and applying its truth, and by developing skill in the use of study tools • Know oneself by an increasing awareness of spiritual gifts, personality types, and personal potential • Know people by becoming sensitive to their needs and the contexts in which they live, improving communication with them, no matter their cultures • Know the skills required in a particular area of ministry. By “ministry” CIU consciously and intentionally includes those who are called by God to minister in and through professional disciplines — whether in communication, education, psychology or other professional disciplines where training programs are being developed. In addition to the faculty, the university provides resources for learning and curricular guidance necessary for progress toward these goals. CIU expects students to be active participants in the spiritual, academic, social, and physical dimensions of college life. As they do, they come “to know Him” better and are able “to make Him known” more effectively. We believe God’s purpose for CIU institutionally and for its faculty and students individually is achieved only by the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit through yielded believers.

  • Effect of Surface Traction and Non-Metallic Inclusions on the Premature Failure of Wind Turbine Gearbox Bearings
    Department of Mechanical Engineering Effect of Surface Traction and Non-Metallic Inclusions on the Premature Failure of Wind Turbine Gearbox Bearings Author: Hamza Abdulrasool Al-Tameemi Registration No: 130249562 December 2017 Supervisors: Dr. Hui Long Prof. Rob Dwyer-Joyce Thesis submitted to the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Sheffield in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Abstract Abstract The reliability of offshore Wind Turbine (WT) operation has been affected by costly maintenance and replacement of critical mechanical components such as bearings in the gearbox which often fail prematurely much earlier than the designed life-time of 20~25 years. It has been observed that irregular microstructural changes known as the White Etching Area (WEA), which could appear as butterfly wings, and the cracks associated with it, termed as White Etching Cracks (WECs), are present in most of the prematurely failed WT bearings. Currently no agreed theories regarding their causes and failure mechanisms, nor an effective solution have been established. In this research, two failed planetary bearings from WT gearboxes were destructively investigated to develop an in-depth understanding on the characteristics of the irregular microstructural changes and damages initiated from defects such as non-metallic Inclusions. One of the investigated bearings had a Black Oxide (BO) coating. The characterisation of the BO coating layer was performed to assess its effectiveness in preventing and delaying the premature WT gearbox bearings failure. To investigate the effect of various tribological parameters on surface and subsurface initiated damage, Rolling Sliding Tests (RSTs) using bearing steel specimens were conducted on a benchtop twin-disc machine.
